It’s nice to have this place near the movie theater so you can grab a glass of wine or cocktail before your movie starts. The food, not so good. Expect to wait a very long time for even something simple like a grilled chicken wrap. The kitchen is upstairs, and also services the lux moviegoers — so expect to be in that queue. Service is slow and awkward too. The bartenders and servers never seem to have a good working dynamic.

The worst. Tried to get a beer here before a movie tonight. The bar had four people sitting at it, all with drinks already, yet the three people working there totally ignored us for ten minutes, then finally(very rudely) told us they wouldn’t be able to get to us for another ten minutes. We said we were just looking to get a beer and they said it didn’t matter, we would have to wait. So we left. If you’re going to be terrible at your job, at least be nice to people.

If only we could have zero stars. Sadly the restaurants at Legacy Place had 1+ hour waits, so we took a chance. Hamburg cooked to shoe leather, though ordered medium. Side salad made of the outside lettuce leaves that any self-respecting restaurant would never serve a customer(never mind a family member). They did not get one item of a simple order correct. Avoid at all costs, better to just settle for popcorn at the concession stand. Grim. Waiter did try his best — the one bright spot.

My wife and I only decided to eat here because it was a Saturday night and every place in the area had a minimum of a 45 minute wait, which did not work with our movie time. The food looked decently priced so we went for it. The service to seat us was extremely slow hovered around a «hostess» stand for a bit waiting for someone to notice. After being seated it took another 10 minutes for a server to come over. This didn’t really bother me since I expected service at a movie theater lounge to not be the greatest. I ordered a burger and my wife had the reuben. We did have to ask for utensils and napkins. Food was alright nothing to write home about and it did come out at a decent time. I expected our waiter to be a little bit more on top of getting us our check since he made a point to ask what time our movie was when we ordered. Once we finally flagged him down we did make it to our movie on time. The main reason I am writing this review is because I did not get to enjoy my movie much due to becoming extremely nauseous. Thankfully I did make it through the movie and home before I became sick. So I will never go back and will not recommend this to any of my friends.

Thought I’d upgrade my lunch from the concession stand and was I wrong. It was completely empty and the bartender told me a sandwich would take 10 min. Nearly 30 minutes later it came down. Went from being early to being late for the movie. All of that would have been bad except the turkey club was the worst I’ve ever eaten. Worst sandwich ever.

for those who don’t know, studio 3 is the restaurant that’s located«inside» the movie theater, right next to the concession stands and the ticket box. the servers ask you what time your movie showing is, and do their best to get you seated and served before then. i’ve been here twice now, and each time it’s been fine. there’s a full bar, and some beers on tap. they also occasionally have cocktail specials, like for the hunger games showing. their food is your standard american fare, with pizzas, burgers, wraps, etc. the second time that my bf and i went, we were really early for our showing so we decided to hang out there. our food took a long, long time to come out, and the manager was so embarrassed that she comped our desserts. can’t say no to that :) bottom line: i wouldn’t come here if i wasn’t going to a movie, but i’m glad it’s there for when you’re too early to your movie.

Good Place for a Quick Bite and Drink

I had been here once before for a drink and a snack before a movie and it was ok. This time, we stopped in before a movie because we didn’t have time to go to another restaurant. I didn’t get a good feeling from the beginning since the place was empty. There were empty glasses on a few of the tables, yet there were about 3 – 4 employees standing at the hostess stand chatting(I don’t know why they couldn’t have cleared off the tables). We ordered buffalo bites(which were cold but otherwise would have been ok), sliders(which also tasted microwaved but at least were hot) and fries(which were fine). Should have tried our luck at a real restaurant rather than spending $ 50 on this crap.

We were seated immediately, but we had no server. We had no menus and we had no drinks or water to even start us off. We were also seated right between two parties that made us feel extremely uncomfortable; Some ghetto looking couple who couldn’t stop staring and a party of whales on the other side of us who, like the others, would not stop staring. We seriously waited for ten minutes. We left before a server could even tend to us. I’ll never go here again.

The food here is pretty good considering it’s inside a movie theaters. The menu was small, but simple and had great prices. We ordered the bento box, which included a few things from the appetizer. Loved the presentation of it. We also got the crab cakes which was delicious as well. The only thing that bothered me was that the server expected me to eat my dessert with the same fork I used to eat my dinner. No thanks. Would go back again because the décor and ambiance of the restaurant was pretty nice.

Not bad for being a restaurant inside of a movie theater! To be honest, it has quite a fun ambiance. Leather retro seats, full bar, clubby décor. The best thing was, the food was great! You’re thinking it’s not possible, but I’m being honest. Jess had the sliders, which didn’t taste like it was microwave heated. I had the Cap’n Crunch chicken fingers, and to tell you the truth, they were the best chicken fingers I’ve EVER had! Incredibly quick service that serves you with your movie time in mind. My one gripe was the food portions. Jess had three sliders for $ 9, a great deal. I saw the table next to us with a giant platter of boneless buffalo wings for $ 9, another great deal, but my chicken fingers came with only three small pieces for $ 9. That didn’t seem too cool, when the rest of the place seems to be a bargain.
